Chapter 495 Elders’ Welfare (Please subscribe and vote monthly!!)
Because there were too few monks at his disposal, Liu Yu gave the order a few days ago and asked Ji Ruyan to take care of this matter.
As for the Golden Elixir Ceremony, Jiang Qiushui is mainly responsible for it.
The height of Qingyang Peak is about 500 feet. If converted to the unit in the previous life, it would be 1,500 meters.
There is a third-level mid-grade spiritual vein, and the spiritual energy is unusually rich. It requires little processing, and there are dozens of acres of spiritual land.
If we manage it seriously, it will be easy to open up a hundred acres of spiritual land.
Even if you want to build a third-level elixir garden, it is not impossible.
However, the speed of earning spiritual stones through normal operation of Lingshan is still too slow. Now Liu Yu needs a lot of spiritual stones, so he really doesn't take it seriously.
But it seems too suspicious to leave a third-level spiritual mountain just sitting there without taking care of it, and to collect spiritual stones just by sitting there without doing anything about it.
Therefore, it is still necessary to cover up.
The reason why Liu Yu wanted to choose some maids was not just for his own convenience, but also for the purpose of taking care of Lingshan.
"Since everything has been arranged, let's arrange the interview for tomorrow."
He nodded and said calmly.
He was not surprised that so many monks wanted to join Qingyang Peak.
With his current status, he has already joined the privileged class of the sect. If he wants to promote an outer disciple to an inner disciple, he only needs to pass on one sentence.
But just this simple sentence is an opportunity that countless monks can't get.
A great opportunity is in front of you, and the threshold for pursuing it is not high. Who wouldn’t want to give it a try?!
Taking a step back, the task of taking care of Qingyang Peak is much easier than the normal sect tasks, which can free up more time for cultivation.
Even if you can't win the favor of your master, as long as you can stay in Qingyang Peak, you can still improve your cultivation environment.
"Yes, husband, Ruyan understands."
Ji Ruyan nodded obediently.
"Okay, Ruyan, you go down first."
Liu Yu nodded lightly and signaled Ji Ruyan to retreat, leaving Jiang Qiushui alone in the cave.
Soon, there were only two people left in the cave.
Perhaps because he made a mistake and was reprimanded, Jiang Qiushui was very well-behaved at this time, quietly lowering his head and not saying a word, giving him a quiet beauty.
At any other time, if the two of them were alone, they would have moved to another sitting place.
Liu Yu secretly smiled in her heart, but she was not prepared to comfort her, even if she was his own woman, and she was too doting.
You still have to knock when you need to, otherwise it will be easy to break the rules.
After thinking for a while, he took off the seven storage bags from his waist, placed them one by one on the table and said:
"There are some resources here. They need to be sold and exchanged for spiritual stones. I will leave them to you, Qiushui."
These are the gains from the trip to the Holy Fire Secret Realm. After once again excluding the best magic weapons and high-grade spiritual weapons, the value is about 130,000 spiritual stones.
Including some unused gifts, the value is approximately 150,000 spiritual stones.
Now that I have advanced to the Golden Elixir realm and am extremely short of spiritual stones, it is time to sell these.
As for the best magic weapons and top-grade spiritual weapons, Liu Yu has other uses.
Moreover, magic weapons and spiritual weapons are often the signature and symbol of a monk. If they are sold directly, they may expose themselves as the biggest beneficiary of the Holy Fire Secret Realm.
It's about Lingbao, so it's better not to take this kind of risk.
Even if he gave Jiang Qiushui and Ji Ruyan's two top-quality spiritual weapons on credit, Liu Yu also told the two women not to use them unless absolutely necessary.
However, since the two girls have been staying in the sect, they really don't have many opportunities to use it.
Hearing this, Jiang Qiushui's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the seven storage bags on the desk:
"Yes, husband."
"Qiu Shui will definitely not let you down."
Liu Yu was still willing to arrange things for her to do, proving that the previous mistakes were over, so why was she unhappy?
Afterwards, the two sat opposite each other and chatted for a while about the ending of the ceremony.
"If there is nothing else, let's go down first."
"These resources should be exchanged for spiritual stones as soon as possible."
"As before, this matter must be kept as secret as possible."
After chatting for half an hour, Liu Yu finally said this.
"Qiushui understands."
Jiang Qiushui nodded lightly.
She has always been doing these things, and she has already set up special channels, so she can do them with ease.
But the next moment, when the woman picked up one of the storage bags and glanced inside, her beautiful eyes flashed with shock.
Twenty thousand spiritual stones!
With Jiang Qiushui's eyes, he could roughly judge the value of the resources with just a brief glance of his consciousness.
Due to long-term exposure to these things, she understands the market very well, so her estimation is more accurate than Liu Yu's.
"One storage bag has 20,000 resources, so seven storage bags, wouldn't it be enough?"
"Where did your husband get so many resources?!"
Jiang Qiushui couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and looked up at Liu Yu, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Even though the two have known each other for so long, sometimes she still feels that the person in front of her is extremely mysterious.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu had no intention of answering.
At this time, I had taken out the third layer of "The Wonderful Method of Preserving God" written on the book, and began to study it seriously.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining or taking any other action, Jiang Qiushui bit her lip and had no choice but to stand up and leave the attic.
Some things will be explained, and some things will not be explained from beginning to end. She is used to it.
Today's practice has been completed. After Jiang Qiushui left, Liu Yu did not do anything else but devoted himself to meditating on the "wonderful method of preserving the spirit".
Try to understand the third level as early as possible and then start practicing.
There are five levels of "The Wonderful Method of Preserving God", corresponding to the five major realms from the Qi Refining Stage to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Each level has a unique spiritual consciousness and secret technique, which can often work wonders at critical moments.
The first level is "Shocking Thorn", and the second level is "Soul-Breaking Soul Searching Technique".
The third level is the "glazed mind trick", which is a secret technique that affects and controls other monks.
It can forcibly change the monk's thoughts and even personality, turning him into a puppet controlled by himself.
"Glass Confusion Technique" has almost no effect when used on monks of the same level, but if used on low-level monks, the effect is very powerful.
Especially when used on monks in the Qi refining stage, there is almost no possibility of getting rid of the influence, and the effect is even more powerful than the most professional brainwashing.
Although it cannot directly increase strength, it has a miraculous effect on developing power.
Liu Yu can completely rely on this technique to control some Qi refining monks, then use Yuan Shen to restrain the dual control, and then spend resources to train them to the foundation building stage.
In this way, you will get a group of subordinates who are completely loyal to you and can do anything for you.
The reason why the idea of cultivating dead soldiers came up in the first place was precisely because of the "glazed glass mind trick".
However, this secret technique also has flaws, that is, it forcibly changes a person's personality, making a person's "self" no longer complete, and the chance of condensing golden elixir is much lower than that of a normal monk.
However, the cost of cultivating a golden elixir monk is too high, and Liu Yu's own resources are currently insufficient, so he has no such idea.
There is a group of foundation-building dead soldiers as minions to do things that are inconvenient for you to do. It is enough for now.
…
…
The second day.
Qingyang Peak, Cave Hall.
"Husband, two hundred female disciples are already waiting outside. They are all people who want to join Qingyang Peak."
"Should we come in like them now?"
Ji Ruyan reported.
She was choosing a maid for her husband. Although she had a smile on her face, she still felt a bit disgusted in her heart.
Ever since Liu Yu started practicing her body, she couldn't bear the kindness, but she had no idea of sharing it with others.
Therefore, in order to prevent some vixens from seducing their husbands into ascending to the throne, Ji Ruyan secretly eliminated some of the female disciples who were flirtatious and flirtatious.
For example, a female nun with exceptionally tall peaks.
"Well, let them come in."
Hearing this, Liu Yu also became a little more interested, put down the book in his hand and said calmly.
Ji Ruyan responded, used his Yin Dao spell, and called out the door.
Soon, the figure of a famous female disciple appeared, twisting her graceful figure and filing in.
Although Ji Ruyan was jealous, she did not dare to choose ugly female cultivators, but suppressed some potential opponents who felt threatened.
Therefore, the appearance of the two hundred female disciples is generally very good.
It's just that women are naturally good at acting. When they saw that it was Master Qingyang's concubine who was responsible for the preliminary screening, many clever female cultivators had already prepared their disguises.
It was ordinary during the screening, but now it is flourishing.
"snort."
Ji Ruyan snorted coldly when he saw this, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he couldn't do it too obviously.
Although she wears both the inner and outer white robes and gray robes, under careful dressing, each female nun still has her own merits and looks pleasing to the eye.
At this moment, I walked across the threshold into the hall, and the hall was instantly filled with various fragrances.
Fresh, enchanting, gaudy, elegant
I don’t know if it’s really a body odor or if it’s just pickled cosmetics.
"good."
Liu Yu looked serious and looked at the female cultivator who entered the hall with an appreciative attitude, and secretly praised her in her heart.
However, appreciation is appreciation. As an elder of the sect, of course he has to pay attention to his manners, so his face is expressionless and there is no trace of happiness or anger.
The ancestor of Tianfeng, Shenlong, is nowhere to be seen. Elder Jindan is already a high-ranking member of the Yuanyang Sect, and many disciples in the Qi refining period will never see him more than a few times in their lives.
Therefore, when a golden elixir elder is really in front of them, most disciples are still quite nervous and restrained.
They walked with their heads down, and after entering the hall, they did not dare to raise their heads to look at Liu Yu.
However, there are also a few extremely "bold" female disciples who even take advantage of the opportunity to make secret glances, with a flash of love between their brows.
Regarding this, Liu Yu had no worries at all.
He is not obsessed with women, and there is no shortage of women around him.
Just yesterday I discussed the Yin-Yang Avenue with Yan Hongyu, and the accumulated anger has disappeared.
No matter what your appearance is at this time, no matter how charming you are, as long as you are like a saint or a Buddha, that's all.
Although Liu Yu didn't say anything on the spot about these bold female disciples, she had already eliminated them in her heart.
If you dare to be so bold now, won't it mean that there will be no peace in the backyard after joining Qingyang Peak?
"Disciple pays homage to Master Qingyang!"
Not long after, two hundred female disciples lined up neatly in the hall, chattering constantly.
Liu Yu looked at them for a while, then looked away, raised his hand to ask these disciples to stand up, and then signaled to Ji Ruyan that the process had officially begun.
Ji Ruyan nodded slightly, looked at the two hundred female disciples, and after saying some words, he explained the basic rules of the selection and announced that the selection had officially begun.
Of course, the final decision rests with Liu Yu.
"Disciple Han Xinlian has the four spiritual roots and is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Ji Ruyan gave the order, and a pretty female disciple stood up. After saluting Liu Yu again, she began to introduce her specialties.
It's just a selection of maids. Of course, it can't be like a talent show, with a dance or something to show off your talent first.
There are two hundred people who need to be interviewed. If every female disciple shows off their talents, one day may not be enough.
Liu Yu didn't have that much time to spend, so they could only use the simplest language to introduce their strengths and advantages.
Only when named by him will the corresponding female disciple have the opportunity to show off.
Even if a good idea is missed, there will be no regrets at all.
As a Jindan elder, as long as you give the order, there will be a lot of female cultivators who want to cling to you.
"Disciple Wen Caiyi has the three spiritual root qualifications of wood, water and gold. He is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, etc. He also has knowledge of spiritual plants and spiritual herbs."
"I once studied alchemy. Although I didn't become an alchemist, I took care of some spiritual fields and spiritual herbs. I think I'm pretty good at it."
"There will never be any mistakes in taking care of the spiritual field."
"If Master Qingyang chooses a disciple, the disciple will never let him down."
A female cultivator from the inner sect with a simple wooden hairpin in her hair, an oval face, simple makeup, and a dignified appearance, briefly introduced herself after saluting.
Unlike other female nuns, her tone seemed neither humble nor silent, which was a bit different.
"oh?!"
Liu Yu became interested.
In his eyes, the Three Spiritual Roots are indeed a plus.
After all, if you have two spiritual roots, most people will look down on the position of a maid, and the position of a disciple is almost the same.
Moreover, Qingyang Peak's spiritual fields happen to need manual care, and having some knowledge on how to take care of the spiritual fields and take care of the spiritual grass is also a plus.
"I would like to ask you, what kind of environment is suitable for Qingling Grass to grow?"
"How many days is it appropriate to cast the Cloud and Rain Technique, and how many days is it appropriate to loosen the spiritual soil?"
Liu Yu asked.
He wanted to see if this disciple named "Wen Caiyi" had real skills, or if he was just pretending to attract his attention.
"Reporting to the master, my disciple believes that Qing Ling Cao likes shade and should be placed in a place where direct sunlight is not available."
"And because it requires more water, it should be planted in soil with more water content."
"As for how many days to perform the Cloud and Rain Technique, my disciple believes that it is most appropriate to perform it twice every seven days, with an interval of three days between each time."
"because"
Without thinking for long, Wen Caiyi gave the answer in a clear and logical manner.
Facing the inquiry from the Jin Dan Patriarch, there was no obvious panic in his tone.
Just holding them together, with some white knuckles, still revealed the nervousness in this woman's heart.
"good."
"More than 70% correct, you go aside and wait for the results."
Liu Yu nodded lightly and said with a smile. He had already made the decision in his heart.
"I obey, Master Qingyang!"
Being attracted by the elders of the sect, Wen Caiyi still had a hint of surprise in her voice and quickly agreed.
Then, under the jealous eyes of many female cultivators, she left the large group and Shi Shiran walked aside to wait.
Obviously, this woman passed.
"Disciple Long Zhenyi, four spiritual root qualifications"
Soon, another female disciple emerged from the crowd and began to introduce her specialties and advantages.
…
Interviewing two hundred female disciples, even if each one only took a little time, it still took a full five hours to introduce them to all the female disciples.
"How many maids are appropriate to recruit this time?"
"a hundred?"
"Fifty?"
During the interview, Liu Yu was also thinking about this issue.
Elder Jindan has various privileges. In addition to being able to directly receive a magic weapon and a storage ring when the elixir is successfully formed, he also has the benefit of a thousand spiritual stones every year.
In addition, if you choose to practice in Lingshan, there is a certain amount of free disciples.
Of course, this does not mean that these disciples have no rewards, but that all the rewards of these disciples are paid by the sect.
The gains from operating Lingshan belong entirely to Elder Jindan.
In this way, Elder Jindan's cultivation burden will be reduced, and he will not have to be distracted by trivial matters.
Calculated based on cultivation level, the free quota provided by each small realm sect varies.
There are thirty places in the early stage of Jindan, fifty places in the middle stage, and eighty places in the later stage.
Comparing the golden elixir of casual cultivators and the golden elixir of small and medium-sized forces, the welfare of the golden elixir cultivators of large sects is much better.
Even if you don't take risks and just manage Lingshan's step-by-step cultivation, you can basically meet the minimum demand for cultivation resources.
Of course, this is a treatment that can only be enjoyed by the sect's golden elixir with upright roots.
Jindan Keqing, who joined in the middle, was treated several times worse.
After thinking about it during the interview, Liu Yu gradually made a decision in her mind after five hours.
At that moment, he sent a message from his spiritual consciousness to tell Ji Ruyan his decision.
Ji Ruyan nodded, took out a roster and wrote down thirty names, and then announced in front of everyone:
"Wen Caiyi, Li Sisi, Fang Yishuang, Han Xinlian"
"The thirty disciples whose names are mentioned above can join Qingyang Peak and become the maids under the ancestor."
"You will think it over carefully when you go back. It is not too late to regret it now. If you have no other opinions, you will report to Qingyang Peak in three days."
"In addition, Wen Caiyi is the head maid and is responsible for coordinating and arranging the daily work of the maids."
Ji Ruyan's calmness spread throughout the hall, immediately causing an uproar.
"Master, can you give me another chance? I am willing to do anything."
"Master, can you consider being a disciple? I am willing."
Some people could not clearly see the situation, and some even knelt down and begged.
Seeing this, Liu Yu frowned and felt a little unhappy. He was indifferent and had no intention of being soft-hearted.
He said nothing but looked at Ji Ruyan, wanting to see how this woman would handle this situation.
"Be bold!"
"How dare the elder be so presumptuous in front of you!"
"Because it is excusable, I will detour you once and leave Qingyang Peak immediately, otherwise you will be severely punished!"
While scolding, Ji Ruyan released the spiritual pressure of the middle stage of foundation building, covering the entire hall, especially suppressing a few disciples who had lost their composure.
As soon as these words came out, the hall immediately became quiet.
Most of the female disciples who were not selected maintained their rationality and bowed before silently exiting the hall.
As for the few disciples with good looks and bold behaviors, they couldn't accept the huge gap of not being selected and felt a little embarrassed, but they also came to their senses under the powerful spiritual pressure.
Recognizing the reality, she finally left the hall with reluctance.
In the hall, only Wen Caiyi, Li Sisi and thirty other maids were left.
"It seems that after these years of experience, the female cultivator who was like the girl next door has grown up."
Seeing Ji Ruyan's commanding and orderly appearance, Liu Yu secretly sighed.
After a few simple words of instruction, he handed these maids over to Ji Ruyan, and he walked out of the cave.
The rules and etiquette of Qingyang Peak are self-explanatory. Ji Ruyan told the thirty maids that they don't need to worry about these.
——————————————
PS: According to the suggestions of fellow Taoists, some modifications have been made to the previous article.
Jiang Qiushui's cultivation level is still in the late stage of foundation building, while Ji Ruyan's cultivation has been changed to the middle stage of foundation building, which is more reasonable.
